Captivity of Melkor

Three ages of peace in Aman. The term of three ages for which Melkor was held prisoner by the Valar in Valinor. At the end of the third age of his captivity, ManwÃ« released Melkor, but he turned back to darkness, destroying the Two Trees and fleeing back to his strongholds in the north of Middle-earth with the Silmarils.
